So this fic takes place smack in the middle of another of my Black Lagoon fics (Punishment) but should stand on its own enough for anyone to read. It's a bit graphic, a bit disturbing and a bit strange. Hopefully you like it :)
Oh and I don't own Black Lagoon or Silent Hill in any way, shape, or form.
Revy lye on a snow covered road, her body a mess of blood and bruises. How long she had been laying there was anyone's guess. It was at least long enough for her open wounds to have created a pool of blood all around her that almost certainly told of death by blood loss. The falling snow had eventually gathered on her eyelids causing them to slowly open.
She carefully lifted her head from the ground, followed by her arms and hands. After briefly looking herself over, she quickly noticed her surreal surroundings. On top of the snow, a dense fog rested on the road.
"Where the fuck am I?" She asked weakly.
She got to her feet, her legs barely functioning and walked towards the edge of the road to her right. Not more than ten feet in front of her, a sign that had been obscured by the thick fog came into view.
"Silent Hill?"
She wiped some of the snow that had collected on the base of the sign revealing another comforting bit, "Population: 1"
Her adrenaline began to flow and she shouted, "If this is someone's fucking idea of a joke, it's not fucking funny!"
No one answered, and no one came. The cold and deafening silence surrounded her, bringing her feeling of emptiness to grow by the second.
She proceeded further past the edge of the street where the highway dropped off down an embankment. The fog seemed to clear in that moment revealing a small town. While she was in bad shape, her cutlass were at her sides and she promptly drew them as she headed down the embankment and into the town.

In the back of the rip-off church, Rock sat at Revy's bedside with an ocean of tears in his eyes.
"How did this happen?" He barked at Eda.
"Some asshole at the Yellow Flag tried to pick her up."
"That's nothing new, what did…" Eda cut him off, "What do you think she did? She blew a hole in the guy's foot and humiliated him in front of the whole bar. Later on he must have been waiting for her."
As he observed Revy's bruised and battered form he could barely believe it was possible for anyone to have hurt her this badly, "She's so strong. How could this have happened to her?"
"Only thing I can think of is there were just too many of them." Eda replied quietly.
From behind him, Yolanda placed her hand on Rock's shoulder, "There is something else son."

Revy continued to walk down a snow-covered street through Silent Hill's residential neighborhood leaving a trail of footprints in her wake. Her cutlass were raised, locked and loaded in preparation for anything. As she walked further into the town, the fog became so dense it was suffocating; her visibility down to just a few inches in any direction.
Her fingers tightened on the M92's and she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She'd heard such nonsense before, but for the first time in her life she felt it; the fine hair on the back of her neck standing at attention as she felt something of a presence.
She looked over to a row of cars on the side of the road. While a fine layer of snow had covered nearly every surface in the town, she noticed that all of the cars were clean. None of them had tire marks around them, they were cool to the touch so why were they clean?
As she attempted to examine one of them, something scurried about behind her. She turned as quickly as she could to observe whatever it was, but there was nothing and no one there and no new marks in the snow.
"Hello?!" She called as she slowly walked towards the direction of the noise.
Once again something stirred behind her and once again she turned and took aim, this time towards an alley. She cautiously treaded her way through the snow and proceeded into the alley. After rounding several corners through the narrow corridor, the sky above her darkened and from somewhere, an air-raid siren began to sound.
Her voice trembled as her fear began to overtake her, "What the fuck is going on?!"
All of the surfaces around her, the ground and the snow that covered it, the walls of the buildings, even the fog itself began to tear and rip at itself until the sky had finally turned completely black and the snow had turned to rain.
Her pulse was now stratospheric. Her voice waivered quietly further signifying her fear, "Hello? Anybody?"
She holstered the gun in her left hand and retrieved a Zippo from her back pocket. Lighting it brought slight illumination to her surroundings though even without the fog, the darkness and minimal light offered her nearly the same range of vision.
She collected herself and continued further into the alley, now angry once again, "Someone fucking answer me dammit!"

Rock sat in one of the pews at the rip-off church, a brown-bagged bottle of booze in his right hand, a cigarette in his left.
Yolanda approached him quietly, "Are you alright son?"
"I'm sorry sister, but that's a pretty stupid question coming from a smart woman like you."
She smiled as she took a seat beside him, "Perhaps it is human nature to offer comfort in the form of such obvious questions."
She saw how badly he was hurting at not being able to help the woman he loved. Even though she could never figure Revy out, Yolanda was still a servant of the church and would always conduct herself accordingly, even for someone like Revy.
She placed a hand on Rock's shoulder, "She's going to be alright son."
"She was…" He caught himself as his tears flowed to the surface, "…I can't imagine what was going on in her head."

As Revy reached the end of the alley, she found it was blocked off by a chain link fence that spanned to the top of the buildings that surrounded her. Revy pushed and prodded at it with all her strength but it was fixed solid. She backed herself into a corner, now completely overcome with the strong desire to go home. The darkness seemed to close in on her as she fell back against the wall, sliding to the ground until she was seated with her knees tight against her chest. She kept a tight grip on her gun as she sat there, waiting for something, anything to change; something that would afford her the opportunity to react to this bizarre situation, when finally, her wish came true.
"Look at me mommy!" A young voice called from the end of the alley.
Just hearing another voice calmed her nerves slightly as she quietly asked, "What the…?"
A young girl wearing a striped shirt and a jumper skipped over to her as though nothing were odd about their circumstances.
Completely oblivious to the fact that this child had referred to her as "mommy", Revy asked, "Who the hell are you?"
The little girl smiled a most uncomfortable smile as she replied, "Mommy says not to talk to strangers."
Instantly infuriated by the child, Revy raised her cutlass into the little girl's view, "My mommy said answer the crazy lady with the gun."
While the child's expression didn't change, a red ring began to permeate her clothes bringing Revy to comment, "What the hell?"
She pressed her hand to the girl's clothes and as she withdrew, it became obvious what the red substance was.
Without warning or cause the girl began to shout, "No, no, NO!!!"
Her screaming grew louder and louder until her body violently erupted in flames.
Revy immediately jumped to her feet, "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!"
Before she could compose herself to try and help the child, the little girl disappeared into thin air right before her eyes. Now questioning whether or not what she was experiencing was real, a familiar voice called from the end of the alley, "Good job Two-hands, you killed her."
"Rock?!" She asked in a panic.
"You fucking killed her with that stupid mouth of yours." The figure replied as it came into view.
Revy took a step back, her eyes wide with a fear greater than anything she'd experienced since she'd awoke in this place. The figure's body, it's clothes, they were Rock's but his face was nothing but a blank sheet of skin.
Terrified beyond her ability to move, the figure grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her violently, "Did you have to kill her?! ANSWER ME!!!"
Revy finally lost it and screamed an ear-piercing wail when suddenly, the rain stopped and she could tell, even through tightly closed eyes that it was once again light out. She opened her eyes to find the snow once again falling and the alley no longer blocked off.
